Brand Designer

Creativity needs room to breathe. At Agency Habitat, we’ll give you the space. There’s no one right way to live, work, create or sell, which is why we believe in a different kind of work environment. One that is inclusive and inviting to folks from all walks of life, no matter the intersecting identities you encompass. All we ask is that you bring new experiences to the table, share your talents and insights openly and learn as much as you can from the people you meet every day.

We know that collaboration, open communication, accountability and a humble spirit drive us forward in this Habitat, and we’re looking to grow with you.

We need team players who want to work hard and contribute to the greater success of our clients and community. We do life together with our clients and teammates and we do it all through brand, content and media.

Designing for brands requires a keen eye for detail, a deep understanding of your client’s voice and vision and strong communication skills to collaborate effectively with team members.
